He's smashing up all the equipment!

Do you copy?

Which of these

is not hooked up to the computer?

There's plenty

not hooked up to the computer...

...but nothing that overrides his programme.

Then we have to fool his programme.

We cannot stop the ship.

I wanna slow it down.

What you gonna do now?

You gonna let the air out of our tyres?

- What are these switches?

- Don't you touch them!

They open the ballast doors!

You wanna flood the ship?!

Sir, this is Merced! Does anybody copy?

Hello? Somebody answer me!

We're gonna flood the ship like you said.

What are you talking about?

Might slow her down.

Right, you shut up! You shut your mouth!

I never said that!

If we take on too much water...

...we'll all go down.

Sir! Somebody answer me!

Listen...

Flood it.

It's not working!

Will you hurry up?!

Wait. Dante, I think I've got something.

Whoa.

Everybody, back off!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Yeah, we found the key.

(chain saw revving)

What?

OK, OK.

Kick. Can you kick it?

Look out!

- (chain saw revving)

- Aagh!

Can you get out?

Can you guys get out?

If you'll back off with the saw.

What?!

If you'll back off with the saw,

we'll give it a try!

Oh, sorry! I'm sorry. Sorry.

How much longer?

I've never let a million gallons of water

into a ship before.

Give me a second.

I've got three watertight doors to close...

...and I've got to shut off

these sensors as well.

Where's this?

That's the ballast room.

That's right underneath us.

That's what we're flooding.

All right, watertight doors are closed.

Ballast doors should open any minute.

Sh*t!

Close it! Close it!

You just told me to open them!

(alarm blaring)

Follow me.

I can't close itjust like that.

(Alex) Don't let go of me!

(Drew gasps)

(Drew gasps)

Hold on! Hold on!

I'll... I'll hold on.

You OK?

You're gonna be fine.

Hmm. Huh?

In case anything happens...

...to us...

...you want me to know that...

...you... you...

...love me...

...and that you're gonna be 15 next month.

Relationships

based on extreme circumstances...

...they rarely work out.

(Liza) This way, everybody!

What's going on?

Why has the evacuation stopped?

(woman)

Stopped? We didn't even start.

Are we sinking? Are we gonna die?

- The important thing is to stay calm.

- You don't even work here!

I've been in worse situations than this

and panicking does not help.

We have our life vests.

We can jump off the ship.

You'd get sucked into the propellers.

(sighs) Yeah, that would suck.

Alex.

Oh, my God. Drew.

Where you been, huh?

- Is she OK?

- We'll find your mum.

She all right?

Yeah.

Come on, sweetheart.

(Alex) You OK?

Yeah, I'm fine. What's happening?

Why did the ship start up again?

Why... why did you leave me upstairs?

(breathing heavily)

We have a situation.

I know we have a situation. What?

Geiger's taken over the ship.

Geiger.

I'm-not-looking-at-my-golf-game Geiger?

No, Geiger I'm-a-computer-psycho,

Geiger l-designed-all-the-software...

...and Geiger l-can-blow-up-everything.

- Why would he do that?

- I don't know.

- Where is he?

- He's everywhere. Come up here.

(door opens and shuts)

(Alex) That's him.

What?

Go up to the top deck with everyone.

You stay. You stay, and you wait.

Hey, you don't have to save this ship.

(sighs)

Freeze!

Drop the weapon.

Don't shoot.

It's not a gun, it's just a computer.

Drop it, a**hole.

Where's your friend Annie?

She's cute.

It would be a shame

if anything happened to her.

(gunshot)

Hit the floor now!

(pumps shotgun)

I was just trying to make conversation.

I'm putting it down now...

...real slow.

(gunshot)

(pumps shotgun)

(Geiger on PA)

The irony of my situation, Alex...

...is that dedication to job...

...and devotion to the company...

...was repaid with a terminal illness.

You see, computers

generate electromagnetic felds...

...which, over time...

...can cause severe copper poisoning.

(Geiger chuckles)

I'm a smart guy, Alex...

...and even I didn't know that.

I would have really appreciated...

...some understanding

from upper management.

OK, is everybody OK?

We're fine.

(Geiger) But, no. They dropped me.

(gunshot)

(Geiger)

They treated me like I never existed.

Where are you going?

I'll go find him.

Hang on. Wait!

Now, I just gotta do whatever I can...

...to get whatever I can get.

You're not gonna stop me.

This time it's goodbye for good, Alex.

(gasps)

(door sliding shut)

How you gonna stop me now, my friend?

(opens chamber)

(Geiger laughs)

Damn it.

Damn.

(stereo on)

# I feel the earth move

# Under my feet...

(fre alarm)

# I feel my heart...

Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

I've heard that music before.

They pipe it in all over the ship.

No, no, no. I've heard this music before.

Ship-shopping music. He's in the mall.

There's a fire in there.

Well, don't worry.

The flames can't get past the fire doors.

Alex.

Alex, Alex.

Don't touch that!

OK, um, I need a... I need a...

I need my saw.

Alex! Alex!

(pounding)

Alex! Oh, God.

Don't touch anything. Don't touch anything!

I know where to release the fire doors.

Don't open the door. It's a trap.

There's something in the door.

Baby, we can't get in to you.

There's something in the door.

What does it look like?

Wait. What does is look like?

OK, it's green...

...like a spray deodorant can.

I don't know. Can't think.

OK. It's a grenade.

What?

There's a number on it.

There should be a number on it.

Uh, OK, yeah. It's um... L-1619...

...uh... Magnum.

- Is the pin out?

- What?

Is the pin out?!

No, the pin's still in,

but it's attached to a wire.

Yeah.

Tie the spoon to the grenade.

Spoon? What?

With a string.

Oh, baby, don't say grenade.

OK. A string.

Uh...

...your shoelace! Come on.

I got it.

That's it.

OK, all right.

OK.

OK, be real careful.

All right. Here it goes.

Uh...

...you gotta hurry up.

- OK, OK.

- (glass smashes)

Got it. Got it.

Got it. What now?

Pull the pin out...

...and remove the grenade.

Um, uh...

You pull out the pin...

...and I will pull out the grenade.

OK. Counting. One...

...two...

...three.

- Whoa!

- Aagh!

Where is it?

Where is it? Where is it?!

It's in your hand.

Huh?! Take it out. Take it out!

Take it out. Take it out. Got it? Take it.

I got it.

OK, got it?

Alex!

Uh, you can open the door now.

OK.

(beeping)

No.

Here's some more dry towels.

Thank you.

I am so sorry I yelled at you.

That's OK, Dad.

I'm OK.

OK.

Where's Alex?

"Where's Alex?"

(coughing)

Come over here.

Just sit down. Don't talk. Don't move.

- I'm OK.

- You're not OK.

Stop saying that, all right?

Are you OK?

I don't think so.

What?

He's adjusting starboard.

What does that mean?

Does that mean right, left,

round the island?

No. Right into the island.

(Annie) We're moving again.

(Merced)

He's turning us half a degree starboard.

Come on, guys. We're getting closer.

OK, I'm cutting the serial port connection.

Anything?
